Northfield Park Race 6

Race 6

Prize Money: $106,990

DON'TTRUCKWITHME (1) made it four wins on the trot at the most recent appearance, getting home by 7 metres over 1609m at Scioto Downs. Has the benefit of a good draw. Leading hope in a similar assignment. INTO THE BLAZE (7) won at Scioto Downs two runs ago before finishing second at his latest appearance over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 7 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Meets a similar line up and he is capable of a return to the winner's list. OCEAN PARTY (4) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Scioto Downs. SEA MONSTER (6) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at Scioto Downs on August 1.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten Scioto Downs over 1609m, 7 days ago and two back 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at Scioto Downs, beaten 14 m by Night Surfer (1:52.00) in OHSS 2C on July 25 at $17.20. Needs to lift substantially.
